Recommendation (the Committee's words)
For civil servants including special advisers, the current guidance on lobbying should be strengthened, to ensure that a record is kept of the basic facts (which should include the date and time, the people involved and the general subject under discussion) of any contact with external interests in which those interests attempt to influence policy and decisions.
